♥ This project is dedicated to the memory of Mr. David Eldridge of Hawes Primary School in Yorkshire Dales, England. David was a pioneer in the area of meaningful technology integration through educational blogging, a passionate innovator, and a generous learning partner. David recognized the importance of a global education and the power of collaborative learning. You are missed, David. ♥

The object of this collaborative project is to create digital images, share original poems, and publish through our classroom Twitter account using the hashtag #clrpoem! Each week a color of the visible spectrum will be showcased! Everyone is invited to participate!

ROYGBIV

One way to remember the visible spectrum is the
ROY G BIV acronym.

Here are some highlights of What is RED week. Thank you to all who participated!

We kickstarted the RED week with a poem about our special friend Jolly George.

That prompted a comment from England and a question from New York City.

Which followed with our verse about Jolly George.

This poem from Ms Kirsch in New York City was a great one, but needed a photo to complement it!

So I shot a photo of an apple and gave it to the students!

How do I collect the photos and poems? One way is via Google Classroom. Here is a screenshot for next week, What is ORANGE?

We are looking forward to next week's Twitter Time!
